Tap at The Old Hat, Split. Full golden body. Hmm... plummy citric aroma, slightly heavier than expected, but fine enough. Citric, peppery okay, taste, drinkable, very light banana touches. Quite okay overall, a simple, drinkable golden ale for the crowds that neither thrills nor particularly disappoints.

0,33 l bottle, a sample from Cro Craft. Murky dark brown, minimal head. Aroma has a lot of coffee, cold brew coffee, dark malts, some fruit, some chocolate, no prominent roasty character. The body is not like a stout at all, seems like a thin brown ale. Carbonation a bit high. Coffee is there, earthy undertones, not much there. No sweetness, no bitterness, some tartness and a dry finish. Watery. A miss.

Dark brown to black, small off-white head. Dark malts, roasty, light cardboard, slightly phenolic. Roasty, even smoky and woody with a nutty and earthy touch, slightly burnt, a bit rough, almost suits it. Quite smooth, light to medium body, soft to moderate carbonation, dry finish. Rough on the edges, some flaws, overall not bad.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Dark amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, caramel in the nose. Toasted malt, caramel, light herbal hops and touch of fruits with rather strong bitterness overall. Even a bit too bitter for the bitter.

On tap @Angry Moose, Varaždin. Deep amber/brown pour, one finger frothy off-white head, long lasting. Thick lacing on the glass it goes down. Nice on the nose, herbal and hoppy notes, fruity background. Clean and fresh. Medium body, lively carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, smooth, highly drinkable. Bitter taste, strong herbal notes. Grassy, bready notes. Toasted caramel, citruses in the background. Lingering bitterness, nicely balanced. Long lasting finish, bitter and herbal. Quite tasty.

Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black, trace head. Malty aroma, vague phenolic touch, soft, even softer and milder coffee. Lean, soft, but phenolic, slightly yeasty taste. Silky, if a bit watery malty body. Eh, honestly, by far the least impressive special LAB beer I've tried so far.

On tap at Hop In Zagreb. Deep brown to black coloured, medium sized beige head, mild coffee nose. Discreet roasted malt, caramel, light coffee and touch of green apple with bitterish finish. So so.
